1-Methyl octanedioate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: 5.1.2 A mixture of compound 12 (82 g, 0.4 mol), KOH (22.4 g, 0.4 mol) and methanol (450 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up with water (200 mL) and washed with ethyl ether (100 mL). The pH of the aqueous phase adjusted to 3 with 10percent HCl, extracted with ethyl ether (3 200 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with brine (100 mL), dried with MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 13 (31 g, 41percent) as colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d: 1.25–1.44 (m, 4H, –CH2), 1.56–1.72 (m, 4H, –CH2), 2.27–2.41 (m, 4H, 2CH2CO2), 3.67 (s, 3H, CO2CH3).General procedure: A solution of KOH (5.87 g, 104.65 mmol) in MeOH (150 ml) was added to dimethyl glutarate (13.15 g, 90 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 4 h at rt. The solvent was then removed, and Et Saponification of dimethyl suberate to yield suberic acid To a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a stir bar, heating mantle, temperature probe, and short path distillation head was added crude dimethyl suberate (1.15 g), Amberlyst 35 (0.2 g, pre-washed with methanol), acetic acid (10 mL), and DI water (2 mL). The reaction was heated to 95 °C for 20 hours with a gentle stream of nitrogen (0.05 SCFH) passing through the headspace. GC analysis showed high conversion of dimethyl suberate to suberic acid as shown in Table 6.Table 6 - GC analysis of crude reaction mixture[0093] The product solution was cooled and filtered to remove catalyst using a syringe filter (0.45 u, polypropylene). The clear product solution was loaded to a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a stir bar, heating mantle, temperature probe, and short path distillation head. The acetic acid was distilled out under atmospheric pressure to leave an oily residue. To the residue was added DI water (10 mL). The water was distilled out to leave about 4 mL of solution which was allowed to gradually cool to room temperature with the stirring off. Upon cooling, white crystals were evident. The solid was isolated by filtration and washed with DI water (4 mL). The solids were dried at 100 °C to yield 0.41 g of white crystalline product. A sample of the product was dissolved in acetone for GC analysis and results are shown in Table 7.The solution of compound 9 (2.0 g, 12.8 mmol) in methanol (6.5 ml) was stirred at reflux in pressure tube during 3 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and treated with ether. The white precipitate formed was filtered off. Yield 1.92 g(80percent). 1H NMR spectrum (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), δ, ppm(J, Hz): 1.15–1.28 (4H, m, (CH2)2(CH2)2CO2CH3); 1.37–1.52 (4H, m, HO2C(CH2CH2CH2)2CO2CH3); 2.14 (2H, t, J = 7.4, CH2CO2CH3); 2.24 (2H, t, J = 7.4, CH2CO2H);3.54 (3H, s, CO2CH3, partially overlapped with water signal); 11.94 (1H, br. s, CO2H).

Uses

Suberic acid monomethyl ester was used in the synthetic preparation of Prostaglandin E1 (P838600), a primary prostaglandin and a peripheral vasodilator.
